Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
Contrary to popular belief, I have not forgotten about this project my little chickadees. Just needed some time to meditate on all the great feedback. Here is the latest comp.

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
Ace,
you do good work bro.
I may have missed something above about :hover states or :focus states, but I wonder if the gray text or white text on gray has too low of a contrast value? The color scheme appeals to me, but perhaps those could be bumped down to (#777 for text) and (#AAA) for the gray backgrounds?
Thank you for your investment in this man :)

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
Nicely streamlined look!
I’m not sure about the heavy brown tone though – it looks so Zune. ;-)

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
Something about the brown makes theader feel like it takes soooo much more space. I don’t think it actually does but it feels like it does. Could be just me.

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
Ace, will this still be fully customisable (in terms of colours)?
Excellent work by the way :)

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
What is the “Show | Delete” next to the Title field for? I can’t figure it out.

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
Addressing the concerns over color schemes and branding the admin, at this point the ball is really in the core team’s court. We’ve certainly expressed enough ideas of how it should be done. Hopefully they will integrate the best (read: my) ideas ;-)
@ The hakster,
Thats just “Show This Article” | “Delete This Article” <- Something I have often wished for..maybe another thread for request..
As for the rest of you whiners, I tweaked the colors a bit so the TXP yellow is more dominant. I also switched the header up a bit..looks a little cleaner I think.
Overall, it seems we are down to nitpicking details, which is a good sign. Getting very close to another CSS session here.

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
I think that looks pretty good – yellow and grey isn’t my favour combination, but it certainly looks better than yellow and brown :)

Re: Admin Facelift. Take 3
ah! change the gray to black and it’d be Sprint-alicious. ;)
Seriously though. Good work. looks like a pretty functional and pleasing interface.
Oh, and put a save-as button in there.
